Johnny Gigawatt and the Tiger Men from Mars We are Remade

The heirs of "The King" are looking to take back a little bit of his kingdom.  They've hired the same lawyer who got the Siegel family a piece of the Superboy rights recently.

Solicits would make one think so...

NEW JLA LINE-UP REVEALED

So now we have Congorilla, Donna Troy (Wonder Woman stand in), Dick Grayson (our new Batman), Mon-El (essentially our new Superman), Kimiyo (the nice Dr. Light), Green Arrow, Green Lantern (Hal Jordan, who replaces John Stewart after about a year of giving him the position on the JLA), The Atom (Ray Palmer), Cyborg, Starfire (the titans finally got promoted) and The Guardian (Superman).

Not too far from what we knew not long ago. Personally, I think this team is a nice shake-up for the DCU!

BUFFY SEASON 9 ON ITS WAY

10 more issues to 40 for season 8, a break and then season 9! Pretty amazing to see the series continue to have this kind of success.

CASSADAY AND WAID JOIN IN THE TEASERNESS

This time with a Cassaday cover of a yet to be announced Mark Waid series. Man, can Waid's decade get any better? This guy just keeps going and going, and as of yet, I haven't seen him falter.

BLU-RAY BLOG GOES OVER THE WATCHMEN: ULTIMATE CUT

Extended edition, Black Freighter woven in, all in an almost 4 hour long package. This is the edition I have been waiting for.

KICK ASS 2 ALREADY BEING PLANNED?

We know that Millar is the biggest self promoter ever, so we may want to take this kind of news with a grain of salt. Then again, he started as a comic writer and now is getting "movie money," so maybe he's willing to produce it on his own? I certainly wouldn't put it past him.

HIGHLANDER REMAKE IN THE WORKS?

I love me some Highlander, but I don't know if it really needs a remake. Then again, the past few movies haven't been of the highest caliber, and I could use something to wash that "alien" thing out of my brain.

JOHANSSON PART OF IRON MAN 2 TICKET AUCTION

If you fine people remember last year's celebrity auctions, various tickets were sold along with the chance to meet and hang out with stars. It brought in a lot of dough for charity, and it's starting up again, at least in on instance, the Iron Man 2 premiere. The first? Seeing the premier with actress Scarlett Johansson.

SPIDER-MAN 4 TO GET IMAX RELEASE, COMES WITH A SIDE OF DUNST

Interesting that Rory Bruer, President of Worldwide Distribution ends up "confirming" (in one way or another) Kirsten Dunst's involvement considering no one else has said anything about it. I'll put this on "we'll see."

IGN BREAKS DOWN THE NEXT 15 MARVEL MOVIE RELEASES

Quite the list, it is, until you realize 6 of them are in development hell(ish) right now, and have no official plans or release dates. Internet, oh internet, thou art so full of conjecture, yon internet.

RON HOWARD INTERESTED IN THE "STRANGE ADVENTURES OF HP LOVECRAFT"

I've really enjoyed this series so far (1 issue left, I think) and it's cool to see such a decorated director taking this on.

FUN LITTLE OPENING FROM NEWSARAMA'S BLACKEST NIGHT #3 REVIEW

I enjoyed this bit.

Welcome back to the big Friday column gang.  We know there’s only one book this week, but we decided that we can’t skip if the main—

Guys?

Sorry, readers.  Hang on.  Yeah?

Can I have a minute?

Oh, for God’s sake, Kanye—

I think your column and this crossover is great, and I’mma let you finish, but listen, I just wanted to say that Marvel Zombies was the best super-powered zombie story of all time.  And--

Dude, we get it.  You like the spotlight.  Let us get back to—

But Marvel Zombies had two million zombies!  It had Pamela Anderson in it!

Go home.

George Bush doesn’t care about Black Lanterns.

Please.

Fine.  I’m gonna hang out with Zombie Aquaman.  He has fishsticks.  In his mouth.

Our apologies, gentle readers.  Where were we?  Oh, yeah.
